DEC 20 1882

THE LIFE IMMORTAL, OR IMMORTALITY AND ETERNAL LIFE. 

* You must be born again as a little child, and find Heaven and Paradise; immortality and 
Eternal Life here in this life, upon the face of this our good old Mother Earth ; as Nature, and Na- 
ture, God has not provided any other way, nor an)' other Home, or abiding place for the immortal 
souls, the immortal spirits of man. y 

Yours Truly, PROF. J. W. SHIVF-LEY, The True Messiah.

Aud baug yuur hat aud cloak upuu tbc rack.

" If the prize bu biit a toy, aribbou, a throne," 

A royal dindcm for your victor's liead ;

For he felt in hi« iicart " he could go it aloue." 
Aud wheu your <-.reedR, your church, your dod aud hi

To call ou Cbri&iinaseve, 

Aud leave a ihousaud pretty thiugs, 

For the merry, happy Christmas day. 

Just say what sbuU it be : 

Sweet dolls, hate, cloaks aud dressee, 

Silks, satiuf*, or n chiua set of tea; 

Gold aud silver plate, or a sweet cottage home, 

A broad douiaiu.a royal oiansiou. 

Fruits, flowers— fields of graiu aud cattle; 

Greeubacks, gold and silver, pearls aud diamonds, 

lubillious, like the sauda ol the sea, 

"If the prize bo but a toy, a ribbou, a throue," 

A royal diadem for your victor's head. 

The mottoi.i6 ever the same:— 

*' You must work for It," 

That's what old Suuta Claus said.

But only dorisiou, aud prisou aud chains, 

" It moved tor all that," wab his unswerving tone, 

For he knew like the earth, he coutd go it aloue. -* 

As the grast'.tbe plant, the vine the tree, 

The beast of the earth, the fowls of the air, the fish of the

You must work for it;

To eat ol the fruit of the Tree of Eternal Life; 

To driuk of the waters, of the river of etorual life; 

'Tis DO myth, no phantom as (old in the lableslot old ; 

'Tis the kiss of love, the elective flash of soul to soul ; 

As the doamondH flash in the light of the sun. 

As the ligliluingis flash lu the thunder storm; 

The life immortal, 'tis flashed through thy soul, 

In the kiss of the au^ci, tliat k^epeth the gates, 

The gates of the Holy CilV/the New Jerusalem, 

Who've streets are Jasper, Sapphir:*, pure gold ; 

The fruit of that kiss, the fruit of that love;

Of the OnmipeMieut God— Old Time, 
We stand wrapeil iu magic thought, 
Peeling through iho ceaslessly sweep and role, 
Of I lie uuuumbcred ajres as I hey flit us by, 
Like myth and phanloin? iu the early dawns;- 
The Sun of Lit;ht--tlie God of 1 ife; 
Leaps up — 8 fier>', burning Jove, 
In the easierusky afar.

Aloue in that, Tuni pic ; alouo in (hat City ;-- £ <^

The motto 'tis ever the same,

To write this thought, this truth. 

On every door aud window, arch and luantlo, 

On post and pillar, temple, church aud spire, 

Print and stamptit, ou every human heart and soul. 

Thy uHiiie aud fame immoriallzed,

'Twuuld set the human heart aud soul on fire ; 

Purge and purity ; resurrect, redeem aud save 

Every huuiau soul, 

Then eat the fruit of the tree of eternal lite; 

Aud ilriiik the waters of the river of eternal life; 

Ouly when clctir as crystal, sap|ihire, diamond, pure gold 

Eternal its flood, eternal its ebb, and its flow. 

As the diamonds flash in the light of the sun, 

As the lightning* flash iu the Ibuuder storm, 

The life immortal shall AhhIi through thy soul, 

Aloue in the kiss of theaiigcl. that keep iho gates— 

The gates of the Holy City— all ruby and pearl ; 

And when your Church, your Creeds, your God, and bis 

Sou, 
Are withered aud blasted, to obUvinu have gone. 
This trnih like (he sun shall ever shiue on ; 
And our lite immortal, 

"Alone in our sons, aud daughters it shall be," 
If the prize bo but a toy. a ribbou, a throue, 
A royal diadem for your victor's head.
